WARNING

IToyota Safety Sense 3.0

The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0

operates under the assumption

that the driver will drive safely,

and is designed to help reduce

the impact to the occupants in a

collision and assist the driver

under normal driving conditions.

IWhen it is necessary to dis-

able the system

In the following situations, make

sure to disable the system.

Failure to do so may lead to the

system not operating properly,

possibly leading to an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

GWhen the vehicle is tilted due to

being overloaded or having a

flat tire

As there is a limit to the degree of

recognition accuracy and control

performance that this system can

provide, do not overly rely on this

system. The driver is solely

responsible for paying attention to

the vehicle’s surroundings and

driving safely.

Basic functions

 When the system determines

that the driver is not paying

attention to the road or their

eyes are closed

During controlled driving, the

driver monitor camera detects

the position and direction the

driver is facing, and whether

their eyes are opened or closed.

Through this, the system deter-

mines if the driver is checking

their surroundings and if the

driver can perform driving oper-

ations.

 When the driver’s face cannot

be detected or the system

determines that the driver has

poor driving posture

When the position of the steer-

ing wheel/driver’s seat is too

high or too low, the driver moni-

tor camera may not be able to

recognize the whole face of the

driver which can limit feature

functionality and possibly trig-

proper seating position where

the whole meter is visible. Con-

Lane departure alert func-

tion

If the system determines that

the vehicle is likely to depart

from its lane or course^*, it pro-

vides assistance through steer-

avoid deviation from the lane or

course.

When the system determines

that the vehicle might depart

from its lane or course^*, a warn-

ing is displayed on a display,

and either a warning buzzer will

sound or the steering wheel will

vibrate to alert the driver.

If the system determines that the

steering wheel has not been oper-

ated for a certain amount of time or

the steering wheel is not being

firmly gripped, a warning message

may be displayed and a warning

buzzer may sound to alert the

driver.

Check the area around your vehicle

and carefully operate the steering

wheel to move the vehicle back to

GDriving safely is solely the

responsibility of the driver. Do

not overly rely on this system,

and pay careful attention to the

surrounding conditions in order

to ensure safe driving.

The dynamic radar cruise control

is only intended to help the driver

in determining the distance

between the driver’s own vehicle

and a designated preceding vehi-

cle. It is not a system which allows

for careless or inattentive driving,

and is not a system which assists

in poor visibility conditions.

GThe dynamic radar cruise con-

trol provides driving assistance

to reduce the driver’s burden.

However, there are limitations to

WARNING

GDetails of support provided for

the driver’s judgement

The dynamic radar cruise control

determines whether the distance

between the driver’s own vehicle

and a designated preceding vehi-

cle is within a set range. It is not

capable of making any other type

of judgement. Therefore, it is

absolutely necessary for the

driver to remain vigilant and to

determine whether or not there is

a possibility of danger.

GDetails of support provided for

the driver’s operation

The dynamic radar cruise control

does not include functions which

will prevent or avoid collisions

with vehicles ahead of your vehi-

cle. Therefore, if there is ever any

possibility of danger, the driver

must take immediate and direct

control of the vehicle and act

appropriately in order to ensure

safety.

ISituations in which the

dynamic radar cruise control

should not be used

Do not use the dynamic radar

cruise control in the following situ-

ations. As the system will not be

able to provide appropriate con-

trol, using it may lead to an acci-

dent resulting in death or serious

injury.

When there are no vehicles ahead

The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.

If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill, the set vehicle

speed display will blink and a buzzer will sound.

Deceleration and follow-up cruising:

When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle

speed is detected

When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the vehicle auto-

matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle speed is neces-

sary, the brakes are applied (the stop lights will come on at this time). The

vehicle is controlled to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the

driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the preceding vehicle. If

vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle

ahead, the approach warning will sound.

Acceleration:

When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower

than the set vehicle speed

The vehicle accelerates until the set vehicle speed is reached and then

resumes constant speed cruising.

Starting off:

If a preceding vehicle stops, the vehicle will also stop (controlled stop). After

the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing the “RES” switch or depressing

the accelerator pedal will resume follow-up cruising (start off operation). If a

start off operation is not performed, the controlled stop will continue.

Vehicles with Traffic Jam Assist: While driving on a highway or expressway,

if a preceding vehicle stops, your vehicle will stop accordingly. On some

highways and expressways, if the system determines that the preceding

sound and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display to

notify the driver, and your vehicle will start off accordingly following the pre-

ceding vehicle. (Extended resume time)

Summary of the system

Operation of this system is sep-

arated into 4 control states.

Through control state “Warning

phase 1” and “Warning phase

driver is aware and responsive

while outputting a warning and

controlling the vehicle speed. If

the system determines the

driver is not responsive, it will

operate in control state “Decel-

eration stop phase” and “Stop

hold phase” and decelerate and

stop the vehicle. It will then

operate continuously in “Stop

hold phase”.

Function Outline

Extended resume time of

dynamic radar cruise con-

trol

Traffic Jam Assist is a system

which, through confirmation of

the conditions by the driver, pro-

vides lane keeping, accelerat-

ing/decelerating, stopping, and

starting off support on some

highways and expressways.

Also, in an emergency, the sys-

tem can decelerate and stop, to

help avoid a collision or help

reduce the impact of a collision.

When recording is approved, the

system records images of the area

around the driver in certain crash or

near crash-like situations, such as

an SRS airbag being deployed or

the vehicle hitting an object on the

GAs the recognition performance

and control performance of the

Traffic Jam Assist function are

limited, driver operation is nec-

essary to ensure safety while

the system is operating. Also,

the steering assist of this sys-

tem is designed to operate only

for slow steering operations

during a traffic jam. While this

function is operating, the lane

deviation control function of the

LDA will not operate. If, for

some reason, the vehicle is

about to deviate the lane, it is

the driver’s responsibility to

drive properly.

WARNING

IFor safe use

GDriving safely is solely the

responsibility of the driver. Do

not overly rely on this system,

and pay careful attention to the

surrounding conditions in order

to ensure safe driving.

GThe Traffic Jam Assist function

is not an automated driving sys-

tem.

GEven if Traffic Jam Assist is

operating properly, the sur-

rounding conditions as recog-

nized by the driver and detected

by the system may differ. There-

fore, it is necessary for the

driver to pay attention, assess

risks, and ensure safety.

Over-reliance on this system to

drive the vehicle safely may

lead to an accident resulting in

death or serious injury.

This function provides the driver

with information and driving

assistance according to the

road shape and conditions, traf-

fic conditions, and the condition

of the driver themself. Always

pay careful attention to the sur-

rounding conditions as use of

the system is the responsibility

of the driver.

GWhile the Traffic Jam Assist

The ABS is not designed to

shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-

tance. Always maintain a safe dis-

tance from the vehicle in front of

you, especially in the following sit-

uations:

ISecondary Collision Brake

(Secondary collision reduction

at the time of a frontal collision)

operating conditions

The system operates when the SRS

airbag sensor detects a collision

while the vehicle is in motion. How-

ever, the system does not operate

when the components are dam-

aged.

GWhen driving on dirt, gravel or

snow-covered roads

GWhen driving with tire chains

potholes or uneven surfaces

The system is automatically

canceled in any of the following situ-

ations.

ITRAC/VSC may not operate

effectively when

Directional control and power may

not be achievable while driving on

slippery road surfaces, even if the

TRAC/VSC system is operating.

Drive the vehicle carefully in con-

ditions where stability and power

may be lost.

GThe vehicle speed drops to

WARNING

GDo not overly rely on Active

Cornering Assist. Active Corner-

ing Assist may not operate

effectively when accelerating

down slopes or driving on slip-

pery road surfaces.

IThe ABS does not operate

effectively when

GThe limits of tire gripping perfor-

mance have been exceeded

(such as excessively worn tires

on a snow covered road).

GWhen Active Cornering Assist

frequently operates, Active Cor-

nering Assist may temporarily

ISecondary Collision Brake

WARNING

(Secondary collision reduc-

tion at the time of a frontal

collision)

GUnlike the parking brake,

hill-start assist control is not

intended to hold the vehicle sta-

tionary for an extended period

of time. Do not attempt to use

hill-start assist control to hold

the vehicle on an incline, as

doing so may lead to an acci-

dent.

Do not rely solely upon the Sec-

ondary Collision Brake (Second-

ary collision reduction at the time

of a frontal collision). This system

is designed to help reduce the

possibility of further damage due

to a secondary collision, however,

that effect changes according to

various conditions. Overly relying

on the system may result in death

or serious injury.

IWhen the TRAC/ABS/VSC is

activated

The slip indicator light flashes.

Always drive carefully. Reckless

driving may cause an accident.

Exercise particular care when the

indicator light flashes.

IWhen the TRAC/VSC systems

are turned off

Be especially careful and drive at

a speed appropriate to the road

conditions. As these are the sys-

tems to help ensure vehicle stabil-

ity and driving force, do not turn

the TRAC/VSC systems off

unless necessary.

IReplacing tires

Make sure that all tires are of the

specified size, brand, tread pat-

tern and total load capacity. In

addition, make sure that the tires

are inflated to the recommended

tire inflation pressure level.

The ABS, TRAC and VSC sys-

tems will not function correctly if

different tires are installed on the

vehicle.

Contact your Toyota dealer for fur-

ther information when replacing

tires or wheels.

IHandling of tires and the sus-

pension

Using tires with any kind of prob-

lem or modifying the suspension

will affect the driving assist sys-

tems, and may cause a system to

malfunction.
